Extended Play: Sounding Off from John Cage to Dr. Funkenstein (Duke University Press, 1994) is a book by John Corbett.

Blurb:

In Extended Play, one of the country's most innovative music writers conducts a wide-ranging tour through the outer limits of contemporary music. Over the course of more than twenty-five portraits, interviews, and essays, John Corbett engages artists from lands as distant as Sweden, Siberia, and Saturn. With a special emphasis on African American and European improvisers, the book explores the famous and the little known, from John Cage and George Clinton to Anthony Braxton and Sun Ra. Employing approaches as diverse as the music he celebrates, Corbett illuminates the sound and theory of funk and rap, blues and jazz, contemporary classical, free improvisation, rock, and reggae.

Using cultural critique and textual theory, Corbett addresses a broad spectrum of issues, such as the status of recorded music in postmodern culture, the politics of self-censorship, experimentation, and alternativism in the music industry, and the use of metaphors of space and madness in the work of African American musicians. He follows these more theoretically oriented essays with a series of extensive profiles and in-depth interviews that offer contrasting and complementary perspectives on some of the world’s most creative musicians and their work. Included here are more than twenty original photographs as well as a meticulously annotated discography. The result is one of the most thoughtful, and most entertaining, investigations of contemporary music available today.

PART ONE. DANCING IN YOUR HEAD. Theoretical Jam

Brothers from Another Planet: The Space Madness of Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sun Ra, and George Clinton 7

"I am the firmament computer, I am the sky computer, I am the orbit computer, I am the space computer. Inspector gadget Lee "Scratch" Peny, the upsetting upsetter, who make music better"--Lee Perry

"Its more than avant-garde, because the "avant-garde" refers to, I suppose, advanced earth music. But this is not earth music."--Sun Ra

"Funk upon a time, in the days of the Funkapuss, the concept of specially designed Afronauts, capable of Junkatizing galaxies, was first laid on Man Child, but was later repossessed and placed among the secrets of the pyramids until a more positive attitude towards this most sacred phenomenon, Clone Funk, could be acquired. There in these terrestrial projects it would wait along with its co-inhabitants, the Kings and Pharaohs, like sleeping beauties, for the kiss that will release them to multiply in the image of the Chosen One, Dr. Funkenstein. And funk is its own reward. May I frighten you?"--George Clinton

Spate of Flux: On the Unofficial Return of the Fluxus Impetus 25

"To those who look at the rich material provided by history, and who are not intent on impoverishing it in order to please their lower instincts, their craving for intellectual security in the form of clarity, precision, "objectivity," "truth," it will become clear that there is only ONE principle that can be defended under ALL circumstances and in ALL stages of human development. It is the principle: ANYTHING GOES."-Paul Feyerabend, Against Method

Free, Single, and Disengaged: Listening Pleasure and the Popular Music Object 32

"Rock and roll was scorned at first by the major record companies. They paid for their priggishness while basement labels like Chess and Sun made fortunes. Disco was discovered by alert independents like Casablanca. Once a bandwagon is under way the majors are happy to climb aboard-and elbow their way to the front-but they are rarely in the drivers seat. So its silly to say of the listening public, as Adorno does, that "in this insistence on the fashionable standards it fancies itself in possession of a remnant of free choice." It is free-at least, its straitjacket is custom cut."--The Recording Angel (1987) by Evan Eisenberg

PART TW0 • AN EAR TO THE GROUMD • Profiles in Sound

I can't help thinking of the critic who would not try to judge, but bring into existence a work, a book, a phrase, an idea. He would light the fires, watch the grass grow, listen to the wind, snatch the passing dregs in order to scatter them. He would multiply, not the number of judgements, but the signs of existence; he would call out to them, he would draw them from their sleep. Would he sometimes invent them? So much the better. The sententious critic puts me to sleep. I would prefer a critic of imaginative scintillations. He would not be sovereign, nor dressed in red. He would bear the lightning flashes of possible storms.-Michel Foucault, The Masked Philosopher
